Turnkey Office Provider Opens 15,000SF Center in Cherry Creek
July 25, 2008

The Regus Group has leased 15,000 square feet at 100 Filmore Street in Cherry Creek, Colo., to house its newest turnkey office center. Located 10 minutes from downtown Denver and a half-hour from Denver International Airport, 100 Filmore is a 90,000-square-foot office building situated within a mixed-use development. Regus leased the Class A space from property owner Sturm Realty Group L.L.C. under a 10-year lease agreement, and will use the digs to provide offices, workstation and conference rooms, marking its 12th such location in the Denver area. Regus relied on CB Richard Ellis to orchestrate the transaction on its behalf, while the Frederick Ross Co. handled the marketing of the space on behalf of the landlord.
